Get Ritas New Book: 10 Little Rules For Your Creative Soul

Do you long to live a more creative or artistic life? Do you wish you could break out and express your free side, your wild child? Read on, soul seeker.

Former corporate trainer turned professional artist Rita Long learned the hard way that we create our lives, minute by minute, every moment of the day. Some do it unconsciously, never stopping to realize that yes, this life is indeed of their own making. These are the ones who pine for things to be another way or yearn for more freedom to express. Others, the ones we often look to as the “creative” type, choose to consciously create their lives.

Rita knows that living a more creative life starts with this one truth:

WE ARE ALL CREATIVE.

The beauty of creativity is that you don’t have to understand it on a scholarly level to practice it. It’s waiting for you. It’s already there, calling your name. Listen. It’s Inspiration, Intuition, Awareness, Ideas, Consciousness, Imagination — and it’s asking you to go for a ride, begging “Pick me! Pick Me!” Are you listening, or are you second guessing or ignoring those creative urges?

In 10 Little Rules for Your Creative Soul (the second book in the 10 Little Rules series launched by this book’s co-author Carol Pearson), you’ll find inspiration, guidance and simple yet soulful exercises to help you learn to hear those whispers and act on them.

Owning your creative energies starts today, when you make the intention to acknowledge this as part of your life and your being. You deserve it. Embrace your creative life, live it abundantly and fearlessly, and stand back and watch where it takes you!

Notes From Rita

For many reasons I fell in love with this heart. It’s artistic, classy yet edgy, and has a depth that keeps me looking at it for long periods of time. It’s complex and comfortable all at the same time. I can’t find out who the artit is, but would love to know. I painted my […]

We all love Angry Birds – those cute little guys who engage us and then we help them conquer the world, right? Hhmmmm…. One of my intentions for 2018 is to not engage in conversations that either do not involve me or turn negative and complaining. Have you ever had someone call or stop you […]

Supper on Sunday…it’s been a while since I posted anything, especially something so special. Toady I was honored to have brunch with my son and daughter, just the three of us. It was amazing how much fun we had!! It is not often we three can get togehter and talk without someone having to cook […]

What is a Giclee? This question has been asked of me several times recently. It is a fancy word for ink jet print and is pronounced “Zee-Clay” (french). I think it’s translation means something like ‘squirt’ – which is what ink jet printers do – squirt ink. Some people think it is an original work of art, […]
